Unit 2 – Definitions 2.2 Definitions – Physical Properties Physical Density Color Luster Transparent property /Opaque Smell Viscosity High Low Malleability Viscosity Viscosity Brittle Conductivity High Insulators Conductors Conductivity Low Solubility High Low Melting point Conductivity Solubility Solubility Melting Freezing Boiling point Vaporization Condensation Filtration Distillation Physical Property - characteristic of a substance that can be observed without changing the substance. Examples: Viscosity, Conductivity, Malleability, Melting Point, Boiling Point, Density, , smell, opacity, transparency, color,how light interacts with a substance, Specific heat ( how easily a substance changes temperature) Physical properties are used to identify substances. What is this substance? Since we can only see it in the photo we are limited by its appearance. If we could hold it we might get a better idea by its (density) Just from looking we can see its: COLOR LUSTER – the way in which light interacts with the surface (Shiny?, Earthy? Metallic?) Transparent? Does light pass through it? Can you see through it? The opposite of Transparent is Opaque – Light does not path through it. SMELL – If you were to smell this substance you would find it has none. This substance is Fool’s Gold, also known as Iron pyrite. Density could tell us the difference. Density of Gold (in nature) = 19.3 g/cm3 Density of Iron Pyrite = 4.8 g/cm3 In this case we can measure the density and determine the material. Density and Floating Investigate how density of a liquid or object changes how things float. Can a cannonball float?

Freeze concentration has been identified as one of the methods to separate water from wastewater samples. The conventional method used for solution movement in progressive freezing technique is stirring by a stirrer. However, the stirrer requires frequent maintenance as it needs to be cleaned and requires longer cleaning time due to the complex structure of a stirrer. Thus, the new solution movement for progressive freezing is proposed, which is circular moving progressive freezing. This study aims to remove water from the wastewater sample (i.e., produced water). To optimize and investigate the effect of coolant temperature, freezing time and rotation speed, response surface methodology (RSM) was applied to determine the efficiency of the process Citation: Mazli, W.N.A.; Samsuri, S.; and central composite design (CCD) was used to design the experiment.

I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the Head of my Department or by his represen• tatives. It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. Department of The University of British Columbia Vancouver 8, Canada Date February 27, 1968 (ii) ABSTRACT - The physical and inorganic chemistry of solutions in difluorophosphoric acid, HPO^Fg, has been studied, as part of a general study of solutions in non-aqueous protonic solvents. Difluorophosphoric acid is a colourless, associated liquid which might be expected to have solvent properties similar to those of other protonic systems such as H^O, I-^SO^ and HSO^F. However, electrical conductivity studies of solutions of various electrolytes and nuclear magnetic resonance studies of solutions of alkali metal difluorophosphates indicate that the acid is a poor solvent for electrolytes and that ion-pairing is probably extensive. Acid-base behaviour in HPO2F2 has been extensively in• vestigated. Compounds which behave as bases in this system in• clude metal difluorophosphates, chlorides, nitrates and carbonates, organic amines, and some organic nitro-compounds and carboxylic acids.

The VFC was designed as an attempt to provide an efficient Progressive Freeze Concentration (PFC) system by providing larger heat transfer area for crystallization. Glucose solution at an initial concentration of 11°Brix was concentrated through the new PFC system. The performance of the crystallizer was analyzed in parallel with the effect of freezing time and shaking speed to the system efficiency, represented by effective partition constant (K) and solute recovery (Y). The results show that the efficiency of the system has significantly improved portrayed by the lowest K value obtained of 0.383 and the highest Y value obtained of 0.96 g glucose/g initial glucose at intermediate circulation time and shaking speed. Thus, the VFC is evidently proven to have a high potential to be integrated in a PFC process as an efficient concentration system.

For more information about the projects program at WPI, see http://www.wpi.edu/Academics/Projects. 1 Abstract The goal of this project was to craft a pleasant tasting non-alcoholic beer from Wachusett’s Green Monsta IPA. Experiments were developed for ethanol absorption that utilized the techniques of an oil layer, freezing, and heating. Results showed use of castor oil, corn oil, and coconut oil as a boundary layer have promise, but require further stimuli to lower ABV beyond 4%. Freezing was successful in removing adequate ethanol to form a NA beer, but the quantity produced from this technique was insufficient to be deemed feasible. Heated trials showed a continued downward trend in ABV, but exhibited degradation in color and aroma. Future research is to be guided towards the effect of pressure and chemical oil composition. 2 Acknowledgements This project was significantly influenced by the support and guidance of our project advisor, Professor Stephen Kmiotek who made the completion of this project possible.

The mixture was separated by using freezing process since both ethanol 24 April 2015 and water have different freezing points. This method is an alternative method for fractional distillation Accepted : 10 May 2015 as it does not consume high amount of energy to supply heat for vaporization purpose. Besides, this method is safer to our environment as it does not liberate any harmful vapor or gases since there is no Graphical abstract heating process involved. In this study, the performance of the process in producing high purity ethanol was evaluated based on two parameters which are stirring rate and coolant temperature. It was found that the concentration of ethanol in liquid phase increased as the stirring rate increased. The ethanol concentration has increased by 52.2% when the stirring rate was at the highest rotating speed which is 500 rpm. When the coolant temperature was decreased to -14˚C, the ethanol concentration in liquid phase increased the most by 56.5%. Thus it can be concluded that the concentration of ethanol in liquid phase increased as the coolant temperature decreased.

  • Chemical Deposits in Evaporite Caves: an Overview Paolo Forti Italian Institute of Speleology, Via Zamboni 67, 40126 Bologna, Italy
    International Journal of Speleology 46 (2) 109-135 Tampa, FL (USA) May 2017 Available online at scholarcommons.usf.edu/ijs International Journal of Speleology Off icial Journal of Union Internationale de Spéléologie Chemical deposits in evaporite caves: an overview Paolo Forti Italian Institute of Speleology, Via Zamboni 67, 40126 Bologna, Italy Abstract: Chemical deposits inside evaporite (gypsum, anhydrite and halite) caves are far less common than those developed within limestone or volcanic cavities. Moreover they exhibit a lower scarce mineralogical variability due to several reasons, the most important of which are: 1) calcium sulfate and sodium chloride are by far less reactive than calcium carbonate; 2) evaporite outcrops normally have a low mineralogical variability within the cave recharge areas. Therefore these karst environments were less investigated from this point of view in the past: no general paper exists on speleothems developing in halite and anhydrite caves until present, while the last printed one on gypsum (and anhydrite) karst appeared around 20 years ago. Several mineralogical studies were carried out in the last decades in caves from different evaporite areas proving that some of them host peculiar minerogenetic mechanisms, which are, at the moment, exclusive for these areas, and sometimes also brought to light to rare or even new cave minerals. In the present paper, together with an overview on all the actually known minerogenetic mechanisms active within the evaporite caves, the related chemical deposits and speleothems are shortly described. Far from being exhaustive, the recent mineralogical research on evaporite caves puts in evidence their unexpected richness in peculiar hosted speleothems and rare cave deposits.

  • Introductory Chapter: Fractionationfractionation
    DOI: 10.5772/intechopen.78050 ProvisionalChapter chapter 1 Introductory Chapter: FractionationFractionation HassanHassan Al-Haj Ibrahim Al-Haj Ibrahim Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/intechopen.78050 1. Introduction Separation processes whereby different properties are used in the separation of mixtures of different compositions are some of the most important chemical engineering processes. The mixtures to be separated may be mixtures of isotopes, molecules, polymers or cells. The different properties on which the separation process is based may be chemical or physical including such properties as chemical reactivity, solubility, molecular size, electrical charge and change-of-phase temperatures such as boiling and freezing points. The application of separation processes ranges from such operations as water purification to refining of products and separation of raw materials. Separation processes account for 40–90% of the capital investment in industrial establishments. It has been variously estimated that the capital investment in separation equipment is 40–50% of the total for a conventional fluid processing unit [1]. There are many different separation techniques which may be broadly classified into pro- cesses of mechanical separation and separation by diffusion. Mechanical separation tech- niques may be based on particle size, density and electrical or magnetic mobility. Separation by diffusion includes chromatographic separation, extraction and fractionation. Of the many and varied separation processes available, fractionation plays a major part, and capital invest- ment in fractionation equipment and processes may form a significant fraction of industrial processing investment. Fractionation, in the most general sense, could mean any process whereby a mixture is sepa- rated into different components or fractions.

    e-learning Materials engineering; science, processing, design Bogusław Major Institute of Metallurgy and Materials Science, Polish Academy of Sciences, Cracow Science-led or design-led ? Two approaches to materials teaching Science-led The traditional approach to Materials teaching starts with fundamentals: the electrons, the atoms, atomic bonding, and packing, crystallography and crystal defects Onto this is built alloy theory, the kinetics of phase transformations and development of microstructure on scales made visible by electron and optical microscopes. The scince-led approach emphasises the physical basis but gives little emphasis to the behavior of structures and components in service or methods for materiala selection and design Design-led The starting point is the requirements that materials must meet it they are performed properly in a given design. To match material to design requires a perspective on the range of properties they offer, how these properties combine to limit performence, the influenceof manufacturing processes on properties and ways of accessing the data needed to evaluate all of these. The lecture includes an introduction to materials science and engineering focused on science-led approach however it gives little emphasis to design-led. Guiding learning on materials and their structure and properties, crystallography, phase diagrams and phase transformations, processing, diagnostics and application. Some information are given on fundamentals and understanding, control of properties at a different scale as well as materials selection and design. The lecture is divided into parts comprising: a basing knowledge, possible application and diagnostics together with examples of some experimental results. The lecture is dedicated to students motivating their understanding of the nature of modern material design and developing skills.
